Chabe said: School gets absolutely wrecked by neighbours and they still have to finish the school day. These guys...
Well, said school had a in build shelter for such situations and as we got told they are used to battles in their city, just usually further away from them. If people had gotten injured or killed they surely would have ended the day right there but with like a bigger entrance and a couple bashed in winodes and one wrecked classroom?
Still, I admit that they must have nerves of steel to ensure that the students still go to the classes till the end of the day. Though the idea is kind of funny when a kid returns home earlier due neighbor attack and the parent is like "the school is still standing and half of your teachers are still alive. Well, right back with you to school, mister!". XD

That confrontation was as usual, someone that thinks that the system is god and etc...
WT has a slow start, that's for sure. Same went for the manga that too to long at the beginning to introduce lots of battles and such although now we had lots of very good planned fights in the manga.
As for Kitora holding Border's rules up, Border is more an army than a pathfinder group. Before recruting teens they had several casulties in fights against neighbors and only after developing some counter-measure to ensure that agents don't get killed out on the field anymore they recruited teens as adults had not enough trion to fight battles in trion bodies.
Border's rules are what kept this city alive,kept her family alive and gave her a chance to protect both. Would you ignore all and each rules if you were in Kitora's place?
r0ykun said: Decent episode. Yuma is one sassy dude haha, and KanaHana voicing a character that isn't a moeblob is refreshing. Animation is a mixed bag still but it's not ruining my enjoyment of the series.
Yeah, when he told Kitora that she can't compete to Osamu I couldn't help but smirk at his sass. Telling an A-elite that she can't hold a candle to a C-trainée, oh boy, she surely did not took that one lightly. XD
Ikr? I was so used to KanaHana voicing cute/adorable moe charas that I couldn't imagine her as a strict, stubborn and very prideful elite fighter girl, but the last and this episode sure showed me that she totally has nailed down that tone as well.
As long as the animation does not return to its horrible performance of episode 1, I can live with it quite fine.^^

Lichtspiel said: Boring episode. And Kuga's face gets more and more annoying
SweetCoconut said: The only expression that I can in this episode is...
=3=
Yuuma showed that =3= face far more often in the manga than he did in this episode, I kid you not. :P
In the manga it is easier to ignore though as you can just flip the pages and voila no more =3=.
Honestly though, Yuuma has shown far more expressions in this episode than in the manga, I for one am glad that the studio gave him some other expressions besides his standard =3= face all the time.^^
animenoobster said: I'm actually enjoying this show more and more, not sure why the ratings are really low on MAL.
Gotta love Kuga's conversations with Kitora :P
Because the first episode sucked a lot so people voted it 1/10 and left it at that. And then there are some Toei haters who want to ensure that every Toei anime gets ripped in shreds so they make sure to always keep voting low while mostly not even watching the show. WT is made by Toei, reason enough to give it a low rating.
A shame, but admittly WT had so far in 4 episodes quite some bad animated scenes or awkward pauses or weird music and such. Not enough to give it a 1/10, mind you, but nothing you would give a reward either.
darkreaver94 said: Kitora sure is jealous of Osamu. Yuma is the only interesting character so far. Need more Yuma.
I get the feeling you might Jin a lot as he is somebody who even Yuuma thinks of as somebody who could win against him if they fought each other. Plus Jin got a great easy-going personality.^g^
llcruz said: Kuga completely rekt Kitora there.
Boy, I can still smell the burn. "You can't hold a candle to Osamu." Oh snap! XD
tingy said: Although Yuuma doesn't really need to help Kitora just because Osamu requested him to, he still did. Probably shows that Yuuma does like, or respect Osamu to some extent. Yuuma's was pretty awesome too when he told Kitora that triggers originally belong to Neighbors, so why should Osamu or any C-ranked agents have to get permission to use them as well? :D That definitely shut Kitora up for a second.
We know that Yuuma has seen many worlds besides earth-japan-mikado city. And in all of those there was war, with people killing, murdering and raping each other and what not. So I guess seeing somebody who wants to help others, total strangers at that, even if it means risking his life does impress Yuuma.
Plus he can hear if somebody lies so when he heard that Osamu was speaking the full truth when he said he wants to safe others even when he's so weak, must have been quite something for the strong but not caring much for strangers Yuuma.
Maybe he saw something in Osamu he himself has lost a long time ago in those wars he was in.
-Klad- said: Kitora is annoying.
Osamu is extremely stupid and useless
Kuga and his annoying faces
Average to bad animation.
1/5
I can't argue with you about the animation as we know it could be done better, but compared to the first episode it was miles above that crap they did with the animation.
About Kitora annoying, while I can see and understand where you're coming from, what is about her praising Osamu, although just a little, for what he managed to do against the Marmod? (Although all he did was dodge till he got hit, the whole kill thing was done by Yuuma^^) Or her speaking about her duty? She fights to protect this city and the people who live in there and if she and her comrades fails it means amok running trion soldiers to kill and kidnap people as much as they can before they leave for their homeworlds. I doubt such responsibility is easy to weld for a 15 year old girl no matter how talented and skilled she is.
Osamu being stupid and useless - what would you have done if you were in his position?
From what I see you probably would have run away which is by far more cowardly and useless than what Osamu did.
Sure he couldn't form Raygust again but then again what could he have done with that weapon against a flying enemy?
Him rushing to the bombing side to help the trapped or injured people was far more useful than him jumping up and down and swinging his sword.
I really doubt that the little girl, its mother and the other people Osamu rescued from the buildings would call Osamu "stupid and useless". He survived a rubble falling on him without a scratch, could move big stones without much trouble, and when he meet his limit he had a friend who would give him a "finger" of power so that he could lift even huge stones.
Yes, Osamu is "weak" in fights, we've seen that against how he fared against the Marmod in a one-on-one. But being weak does not equal useless. He saved many people's lives there. Without him a mother would have to look at the smashed remains of her daugther. :(
Would you have done that? Instead of being "stupid" to help others, watching a little kid get crushed by rubble? What would you have done to not be "useless" in such a situation?
In my eyes Yuuma was right about what he said about Osamu. A sucker for those in need, but one who really means it, somebody who doesn't lie that he wants to help everybody and does what he can to help others. In that sense Kitora "can't hold a candle to Osamu" who is ready to risk getting kicked out of Border by breaking the rules to help others.
Kuga's annoying expressions - well, he IS an alien, a humanoid neighbor. XD
For him our world is weird and makes often no sense at all. Like later when he buys a juice can and wonders why he got more money out of the automat than he had put in.^^
Same goes for him about other humans - he doesn't care much about them. They're strangers to him who would treat him as a monster if they knew of his origin. He had the power to safe those students - he didn't.
He did helped Osamu though that was done as Osamu is still useful for him to learn how to behave in this strange world plus Osamu is a Border agent which can help him meeting the person he search for in Border.
And same again in this episode, he didn't helped Kitora because he wanted to or because he got some hero credo to safe the weak and helpless, he did because Osamu told him to do so and he started to respect that person that is so different from him. Somebody who's so weak yet tries to do everything to help others, somebody that goes even so far to believe a neighbor humanoid like him and protect him from Border's attention - what Osamu did there is treason and while you could argue that this is stupid as hell, you could also say that Osamu showed good reasoning and that Yuuma is thankful for osamu trusting him so much, so he wants to repay his trust by helping him.
Even if that means he got to help somebody as "full of herself" as Kitora.
But I'm sure you would make a far more fascinating and interesting and strong and intelligent MC than Osamu ;D |
